SALT LAKE AND LOS ANGELES RAILROAD.
A party of well-known engineers
Yesterday ascended the Panamint
grade, made by Captain VIM. Moore
several years ago on the west bank Of
the Arroyo Seco, with a view of bring
ing the mining business of the interi-
or by a short line to Los Angeles.
They were seeking for feasible
route for the Salt Lake and. Los An
geles railway and assembled the "di-
vide" between the Tujunga and the
San Gabriel rivers They found that a
grade OF 100 feet to the mile could be
obtained, and that the ascent to the
divide was but $500 feet. Beyond that
point they made no measurments as
the day was far spent. From all the
typographical features of the localities
examined it is evident that but one
tunnel will be needed to
descend into Big Rock Creek.
This elevation discovered yesterday is
about the same as the elevation of the
Southern Pacific at Summit in the
Soledad canon, and is considered very
favorable. The rest of the "divide"
is about II miles from the Pasadena
postoffice and 26 miles from the Plaza
in Los Angeles. The gentlemen COM
posing the party consisted of Hon. B.
s. Eaton, E. A. De Camp, Mr.. Mil
lard, the engineer of the Mount
Washington railroad, Mr.. Rask, also
an engineer. and Mr.. Painter Of Pasa-
dena.
1t is understood that these gentle
men will unite in recommending a
complete preliminary survey of the
line from La Canada to Big Rock
Creek. 1t is probable that another
party will 60 up the Pacoima canon to
the "divide" from Big Rock Creek.
